Calibration Menu

The calibration menu allows you to calibrate the receiver to a transmitter with the transmitter above

ground (1-point calibration at a distance of 10 ft or 3 m) or below ground (2-point calibration). Calibration

is required each time a different housing or transmitter is to be used with the receiver. When you select

the calibration menu, the 1 point calibration option is highlighted for selection as shown below.

Receiver Calibration Menu

To select the 1 point calibration option from this screen, click the trigger. See “Calibrating the Receiver to

the Transmitter” and “1 Pt Calibration” below for more information.

To select the 2 point calibration option, toggle right to highlight the 2 Pt Calibration option and click the

trigger. See “Calibrating the Receiver to the Transmitter” and “2 Pt Calibration” below for more

information.

To cancel the calibration, toggle right until the Exit option is highlighted then click the trigger. You will be

returned to the main menu with no change to the calibration.

Calibrating the Receiver to the Transmitter

DCI does not recommend calibrating every day, but you should verify the receiver’s depth reading daily at

several locations using a tape measure.

NOTE: Calibration is necessary prior to first-time use and before a different transmitter, receiver, or

drill head is to be used.

A tape measure is required for both calibration methods.

The 1 Pt Calibration is the preferred calibration method and is used to calibrate the receiver to the

transmitter when the transmitter is above the ground. When using this method, the receiver and

transmitter should be parallel and level with each other.
